Participating in the discus sion were representatives of the SCS office, ASC office, the county agricultural agent, bankers and others interested in the future of agriculture. The meeting, held at Weeping Water Thursday afternoon, was called by William L. Owens, of Nebraska City, county supervis ors of the Cass - Nemaha - Otoe unit office of the Farmers Home- administration. Owens explained the mechanics of making soil and water conser vation loans recently made available to farmers through the FHA. Earl Cook, SCS work unit con servationist, reported on,, the large amount of conservation work completed in Cass county, this year and the great amount still to be done before ah effec itve control can be established on the ravages of erosion. He said that about 530 miles of terraces have been constructed and that about 400 acres of wa terways have been established. Cook stressed the gret need of structures for proper control of gullies and detention storage Some of such structures may in volve a heavy investment but as time goes on the problem would have become more ser ious and more expensive, he said. Cook also reviewed the high points of the recent con servation tour and the inspec tion of farms badly needing SCS work others with progress under way and others that have effected a very satisfac tory control over soil losses. . Clerance Schmadeke, Cass county agricultural agent, brought out some discussion on ; finoncirKr rn-r c-nrci 5 r forminir I Others in the group mentioned the increased production rea lized on farms that' had been operated under good manage ment and control of soil and water losses. Such reports, of being repaid for the cost of terracing v.ovex4; a two or . three year period, are . good evidence of the merits of such work. It was felt that credit extend; ed for soil and water conserva tion, if properly planned and serviced, offers a type of farm mortgage financing in which the real value of the security will be enhanced while the prin cipal indebtedness is being re duced. It was generally agreed that such credit should be a constructive development from the standpoint of the borrower, the lender, and the community. !6 Mewy Mik acu: dm mm unsure!! m nmm mi if a n i k if Iii i ....liiiii in m-i - v , i vn , ..... . . . , .-. i .. . i.ii ii-. i i -i i ,t , 'ith i "iir -in i-ii iii.ii i.i MEKXY MILES Travel Advisor William Evers Gets Plenty of Jobs In Masonic Groups It was a busy week of Masonic I elections and appointments for William F.
